Default February backyard bugs

These are some of my favorite shots from the last couple weeks. Thanks for looking

Tiny gnat. 5:1 with MP-E.



Muscid fly. 3.5:1 and cropped with MP-E.



Aphid from broccoli garden. 5:1 with MP-E



Aphid from flowering bush. 4:1 with MP-E.



Click beetle playing dead (didn't fool me, though!). 2.5:1, 27-shot stack in Zerene Stacker with MP-E.



And of course, I had to toss a flower shot in there
2:1, 18-shot stack with Zerene Stacker with MP-E

nice series, like the flower shot

Like also the gnat, shame that the leg covers the eye, always frustrating when that happens!
